Whether you're tasting traditional pastries in a tucked-away café or navigating the city’s iconic trams, each moment is an opportunity to learn, grow, and see the world from a new perspective.

What makes this trip so unique is the way it blends exploration with reflection. It’s designed not just to show you a new place, but to help you think differently about your place in the world.
This isn’t just Spring Break.
It’s the beginning of a bigger story—yours.

Lisbon is one of Europe’s most captivating cities—colorful, historic, and full of life. As one of the oldest cities in the world (even older than Rome!), it’s a place where ancient castles meet street art, and old-world charm blends with modern energy. From its iconic yellow trams to hilltop views of the Atlantic, Lisbon offers an unforgettable setting for exploration, curiosity, and growth.

This experience is designed to spark curiosity and create space for connection, reflection, and fun. Each day features guided tours led by local experts who bring Lisbon’s rich history and culture to life—from ancient castles and cobblestone alleys to vibrant street art and seaside vistas.But it’s not all structured.
There’s plenty of free time built in so you can explore on your own terms—whether that means grabbing a pastry with friends, shopping for souvenirs, taking photos around every corner, or just soaking in the atmosphere.
